Runs, walks, hikes, and more!

Pet care experience

I've had several dogs mostly ranging from 50 to a 100+lbs. Never "professionally" did dog services, but I truly love all animals ( especially puppers or poopers as I call them lol) and would love to keep your pups active and healthy throughout the weeks / weekends. I work days weekdays from 7am to 3:30pm usually and once a month I work a weekend, but anytime I'm free I'll be more than happy to set a sitting, walking, or playing service ! I'm always outside playing some sports or staying fit and active, so your pups will always have some healthy and exercise filled things to do ! If you have any personal questions or requests please feel free to ask, I'm an open book and will try my best to make each visit/sitting better than the last!

We knew as soon as we met Richie that he was warm and compassionate, Mia took an instant licking to him. We went on a 5 day vacation and Richie always responded to us to reassure us that Mia was doing well, he took her to parks and walked her, we were very pleased and will surely be using him again

Richie was awesome! He stayed at our home with our 3 dogs over the holidays. Our dogs are very energetic and smart, so they can get into A LOT of trouble if they aren't exercised and entertained enough. I am always nervous leaving them to go on vacation because of how much work they are and how particular about people they are. When Richie did the meet and greet, he was very patient with them as they warmed up to him. By the end of the meeting, he had won over the whole crew. Richie made sure they got the exercise and attention they needed. He took them on hikes and runs and played with them in the yard. Very few sitters are used to (or even capable of) the amount of exercise they require to be happy, but Richie made it happen, even over the holidays. In every update I received, I could tell he genuinely cared about the dogs and enjoyed spending time with them. We will definitely be asking Richie to watch our girls again when we go out of town.

I've worked with Rich for about 5 years in the military and every time I have deployed overseas I left my two dogs Thor & Daisie with him multiple times! He loves them and they love him, I would'nt have anyone else look after my dogs. Thor is a big German Shep who on first looks is very intimidating, so in the past it was hard to find sitters for him even though hes a big softy but Rich had no issues whatsoever. Daisie is a pitbull and most people know the untrue name pits get from uneducated sources about how "aggressive" they are so that alone was enough in itself to make finding a sitter nearly impossible. Rich has had a German Shep and a pitbull in the past so he came with experience as far as bigger dogs and high energy dogs go. 10 out of 10 would reccomend him!
